You could just put an onEnterFrame function in the movieclip that will tell it to move x and/or y position each frame until it has reached a certain point or you could look into the Tween class (which comes standard with Flash). It allows for all sorts of interesting tween types without you having to worry about the guts that makes it work, however I have noticed that it does have issues sometimes (at least in Flash 8) with not stopping in the right place, but that isn't too bad and it normally works right. Here is a pretty good tween tutorial: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/tween.htm Hope that helps.
